Do you have 7-9k to spend on a K swap?

It depends on driver preference and build quality. If you're gonna boost a K series, you're gonna need more than 7-9k. I say B series is gonna be the cheapest to boost. A good turbo setup will run you around 3k, if you want it to be reliable. Get some internals.

Also my parts came in.

I would do a LS or B16 for boost and GSR for NA. But I'm a NA guy, I don't like boost on Honda's.

Last night was pretty hectic, I drove for 6 hours to get a GSR transmission.

Look who's riding shotty?



and look what the transmission came with. hehe

never have boosted a motor but that seems to b all people around here talk about with the right parts in a gsr and the right suspension set up will a gsr run with a boosted b16?

Yes, a GSR is capable of 300+Whp NA and will be a circuit track monster compared to a boosted B16.

NA= better suited for circuit track
Boost= better suited for drag racing

But overall, you can adapt any setup to any condition, regardless of aspiration.
